Health & Medical Careers top Yahoo's list.

Feb. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Now is an exciting time to begin a medical career. Many grants and programs supporting educational opportunities are available today. According to Chris Kyle, at Yahoo.com's  Education network, a health-care degree is the best choice for the next decade:
"Love it or hate it, health care reform is creating many new, exciting jobs in what is already the fastest growing sector of our economy. Factor in the aging population and demand for health care graduates has never been higher."
The US Department of Labor projects that over 500,000 jobs will be added to the Health-Care Industry in the next 7 years. Now that President Obama's Health Care Plan, or ObamaCare, is in effect the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) has announced a 8%-13% increase in their health insurance plan costs.

    Along with the 'Aging of America', where the majority of citizens need increased health services, numerous factors are driving the medical profession to rank top among the highest demand and highest paying careers in the country.  This includes economic decisions to reduce the number of physicians while increasing the number of medical assists (registered nurses, LVNs, occupational therapists, etc).

    The increased demand for medical career opportunities is pushing nursing schools toward peak enrollments.  Kanya Ellington, a part-time chemistry instructor, was a typical prospective student considering pre-medical school for a career switch.  "When I saw the number of choices for schools, I was overwhelmed.  That's when I started my blog on the topic."  Kanya's blog ( http://www.medical-careers-usa.com ) helped her organize the resources available for pre-medical programs, nursing schools and medical careers.  "I really love blogger and it's been a great boon in developing my gameplan."

    Whether considering a school or career placement, in any field, a clear overview of available options (including educational currents, career counseling, financial aid & grants) will help students make a better choice.
